PREACHING FOR LIFE
God plants a vineyard. He labors from sun-up to sun-down to make it fertile. We’re
told he turns the soil clears the land of stones and plants only the choicest vines (that’s us!).
But what happens when the crop comes in? Are there big luscious plump and juicy grapes,
overflowing with sweetness and beauty? No. The grapes are small and bitter and hard. These
vines did not hear the fruit for which they were planted.
Is that how God sometimes looks on us as a nation? He led our ancestors here from
every continent and corner of the earth. Through their hands he cleared the land and planted
what promised to he a bountiful harvest a veritable cornucopia of justice and truth and
equality. God planted in the United States of America a single nation which, even on its
currency recognizes that unity comes only from him and virtue only from following his ways.
But when harvest time comes what will God reap in this American vineyard? Will it
be the grapes of justice? Will this harvest include babies saved from abortion, the treasured
old man and the invaluable life of the woman who is deathly sick? Will this harvest include a
Church who loves the poor, the broken, the forgotten and those whom everyone else would
throw away? Will this harvest include an army of those who preach, proclaim and live the
Gospel of life? Or when the fullness of time comes, will God reap a sickly harvest in this vast
nation? Will he find the bodies of those whom we have killed despite their innocence and
executed because of their crimes. Will he find the sad lives of those whom we have forgotten
or neglected and the lifeless bodies of those who died from the loneliness of a forgotten old
age or the deadliness of sicknesses we didn’t think worth treating? Will he reap a vineyard of
apathy, selfishness and consumeristic narcissism?
What will God find when he returns to this vineyard? Only we can tell.
Let us recommit ourselves today to tending the Lord's vineyard, beginning with our
own little parcel.
Let us read, and pray, and study and live the Gospel of Life that we may grow rich in
grace and abundant in God's holy life.
Along with Saint Paul, let us have no fear. Rather, let us abide in the peace of God that
surpasses all understanding and which will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Whatever is true, let us embrace it and live!
Whatever is honorable, let us embrace it and live!
Whatever is just let us embrace it and live!
Whatever is pure, let us embrace it and live!
Let us embrace and live the Gospel of Life, that the harvest God finds in this blessed
nation at the end of time may be rich, and faithful, and true!

24 Hour Adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament
This devotion to the presence of the Lord in the
Sacrament of the Eucharist will take place this
Friday, October 7th in the Ministry Office Center Chapel
beginning after the 8:15 am mass. It will conclude at 8:00
am on Saturday, October 8th.
Each of us is called to be a steward of God’s
vineyard. If we lose sight of who owns the vineyard,
however, we can get into trouble. If we start to think that
we are our own Lord and Master, we may forget that
obedience to God — the Master of all — is the only true
way to achieve success, which for us is eternal life.

Book Club
Next month’s book: The Hiding Place
Corrie ten Boom was a woman admired the
world over for her courage, her forgiveness, and
her memorable faith. Her family risked their
lives to help Jews escape the Nazis, and was
sent to the concentration camps. But she
survived and was released--as a result of a clerical error-and now shares the story of how faith triumphs over evil.
Now releasing in a thirty-fifth anniversary edition for a
new generation of readers, The Hiding Place tells the
riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker
became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of the
death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists
of the twentieth century.
Living Rosary

led by current third graders. These students will be

We will start a grief support group in October. This
group will be made up of six sessions. Our most demand
for a meeting comes from daytime, so that is where we
will start. The schedule will be as follows:
Tuesday, October 4
Tuesday, October 11
Tuesday, October 18
Tuesday, October 25
Tuesday, November
Tuesday, November 8
All sessions take place are from 9am -11am I
n the Ministry Center Chapel
During these six meetings, it will be a time for those who
are grieving the loss of a loved one to come forward to
tell your story. It is important to remember that yes
feelings can be similar but never the same. No two
people will ever feel the same because every
circumstance is different. Topics to be covered are:
Being Open to the Presence of Your Loss, Dispelling
the Misconceptions about Grief, Embracing the
Uniqueness of Your Grief, Exploring Your Feelings of
Loss, Recognizing you are not crazy, Understanding
the Six Needs of Mourning, Nurturing Yourself,
Reaching our for Help, Seeking Reconciliation, Not
Resolution, and Appreciating Your Transformation.
This journey of grief support will help you to be on your
way to heal, not to forget, but to heal. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me in the Ministry
Center office by phone (X3020) or by email at
[email protected]. Attendance at all six
sessions is not mandatory, so please do not let that deter
you from joining our group.
An evening session for grief support will start up in
November. Day and time to be announced.
Also, before Thanksgiving, we will have a session on
“Grief through the Holidays”. This is especially for those
who have lost a loved one in the past year and are still
going through the “firsts” that come with that.
If you are interested in attending, please feel free to
contact me. This is free of charge, but I do need a count
for the purpose of materials.

The Lord be with you.
And with your Spirit
How often do you get to say these words along with
“consubstantial” and “that you should enter under my
roof” in one hour?! At Mass is the answer! These are
some of the new revisions that we will begin in Advent of
2011. In order to better prepare us for the new Third
Edition of the Roman Missal, we are offering an
informational seminar.
Fr. Phil Horrigan, our Weekend Associate extraordinaire,
will continue with the third part of his presentation of
these revisions, a Q&A session, and practice run. Plan
on joining your Parish family for this seminar session.
You are guaranteed to be prepared for Advent 2011 –
with a smile on your face ☺
PART 3
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14th at 7:00pm Church
We strongly encourage you to join or rejoin a Small
Christian Community for our new Adult Faith Formation
series on the Mass. Using the audiovisual companion,
featuring Fr. Phil Horrigan, groups will learn, discuss, and
pray on the significance of the Order of Mass. This Mass
series will be based primarily on the workbook, At the
Supper of the Lamb, written by Fr. Paul Turner. There
are brochures in the Narthex kiosk and more information
in the bulletin.

How Do I Hear God's Call
In My Life?
Vocation comes from a Latin word meaning
“calling”. Usually when we hear the word vocation, we
think only of priests and religious. However, every single
person in the world is called by God to love and serve
Him. There are four types of vocations: priesthood,
religious life, marriage and single life. All of these
vocations are ways in which we reach heaven.
The key to finding our vocation is prayer. Our world
is full of distractions—TV, internet, cell phones, texting,
IPods, commercials, Twitter, etc. Very few people take
the time to pray in silence every day because we might be
afraid silence. We encounter God and who we really are
in the eyes of God in the silence and this might frighten
us. However, it is in this silence that the Lord speaks
directly to our hearts.
So if your heart is restless and you are trying to find your
way in life, take time to pray. Find a church or adoration
chapel and take some time in silence with the Lord.
Other recommendations include attending daily Mass,
going to confession, reading the Gospels, praying the
rosary, finding a spiritual director, reading the spiritual
classics and hanging around good people who support
your faith life.
If you are thinking about priesthood or the religious life, I
would encourage you to take part in some of the events
we offer in the Diocese of Joliet. You are not alone in
searching for your calling by God. To learn more about
vocations, check out vocations.com
Be sure to watch Catholicism, a beautiful and powerful
new documentary on Catholic faith over four consecutive
Thursdays (8 PM) or Sundays (4 PM) beginning on
October 13th. Never before has the Catholic Church been
portrayed on TV in such an inspiring and sweeping
manner! Join with Fr. Robert Barron (a priest of the
Archdiocese of Chicago) on a journey through time and
across our globe as he explains and celebrates the origins,
beliefs and impact of the Catholicism in our world. Also,
please tell others about this special TV event. Invite
neighbors, co-workers, family and friends to share in this
exciting and sweeping look at Catholic faith.
